Google Pixel 2 XL at revised price is a good deal for those who want best camera and reliable software.

Ahead of the launch of Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL next month, Google seems to be getting rid of all the stocks of existing Pixel 2 smartphones. The Pixel 2 XL, larger of the two models, has reportedly received a price cut in India. The smartphone has reportedly received a price cut of more than 20 percent for the base model.

Google Pixel 2 XL: New Price in India

The Google Pixel 2 XL, which was launched in India in November last year, at a starting price of Rs 73,000 has reportedly received a price cut. The smartphone is said to now start at Rs 45,499 for the base model with 64GB storage. This accounts to nearly 40 price drop since the launch last year. The information regarding discounted price of the smartphone comes from Mumbai-based electronics retailer Mahesh Telecom and Google has confirmed to BGR India that the smartphone will indeed be available at a starting price of Rs 45,499.

To recall, the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are available exclusively from Flipkart but the Indian e-commerce giant is yet to offer discounted price on its platform. The Pixel 2 XL is still listed to be available at a starting price of Rs 59,999 for the base storage variant. However, Google has not officially announced any price cut for the smaller Pixel 2 in India.
